I'm so sorry, I can't remember where they came from, but they are so beautiful and I was thinking of them in amongst other amazing lights today. Here they are for you to look at too, even if they remain a dream. I will search for the source.Others on my list of amazing light inspiration include these shell chandeliers....

I've never been able to sew well. I think its patience. Which I have in droves for certain things, but not the things like sewing and craft. That's why I admire the work that goes into garments and knits.

I just stumbled across the work of François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne. This beautiful blogshowed me the way. My google reader is getting heavy. But, now we have the internet at home (it only took two months! iinet!) I can keep up. Possibly the blog of the week really. So lovely. Today I bought a little 60s formica topped table to double as a desk for my room. Working from the bed was getting tiresome. I would like a golden rhinoceros though. I don't imagine it would ever even be remotely possible in any way to get tired of sitting down to work in the belly of a golden rhino.

Look at this! Lovely Pen gave me a pretty sparkly clutch! We joked that if you click the clasp three times and say Home Sweet Home you would get there faster than if you clicked your heels. There are lots of others in the shop. I think I touched them all, in the prettiest of vintage fabrics.Dorothy. Welcome home.

I've been traipsing around looking for fixtures and fittings for the Gordon Grove project. Around eBay too which has been helpful. Not as helpful as having one of these stores in Melbourne would be. So many lovely things. We are using a lot of delicate fixtures to balance out some of the honesty of the materials. A balance of delicate and raw. Any tip offs from the blogesphere?

Just came across this beautiful blog. Ancient Industries. Speaking of industries, Pen, I bought a navy short pair and a mid length black pair of your beautiful gloves yesterday. I have been waiting all winter to get my hands into these babies. So warm! I always buy them as gifts, but this time they are for me! Whoop! Just TRY and get them off me...
